PEZZI DI RICAMBIO [Spare Parts]--In English

Pezzi di Ricambio[ Spare Parts]

 I am a magnificent complexity
Outstanding in my imperfection
A unique and ordinary perfection
Of human nature.
Alpha and Omega.
The best at its worst
The worst at its best.
A human Creature.
But you see
My existence is a mystery to me.
A replacement for number three
I’ve lived a life for two.
I wonder now at my end
How did I do.
I am fire and ice
My heart has known
Cold indifference
To betrayal and treachery
Testing my love and sanity
I still wonder why
It was he and not I.
I’ve twirled in this strange world
Such a lonely place
Never to understand my own reason to be
Lost in the confusion of my humanity.
I sometimes think
After all is said and done
Number three was the lucky one.

I like this

The questioning in this poem is very valid to where you are now. The title sends me thinking of feeling like a spare part in society, you have lived a life of many experiences. Over all the end is very positive and uplifting but then 3 is a very special number for many reasons in many cultures Seabhac
